Ingredients
  

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 eggs divided
  • 2 cups italian bread crumbs
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 24 oz marinara sauce
  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded parmesan cheese
  • fresh basil to garnish

Equipment

  • 13x9" baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Cut chicken breasts in half and pound thin. Then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the flour, 4 eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow dishes. Beat the eggs. Coat the chicken in the flour, then the eggs, and finally in the bread crumbs.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Let drain on paper towels.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and the remaining egg.
  6. Spread about ⅓ of the marinara sauce over the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with 4 lasagna noodles, ½ of the ricotta mixture, and 3 chicken cutlets. Sprinkle with ½ cup of mozzarella and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Repeat to make another layer, then finish with the remaining sauce and mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
